Main Stage

The Main Stage gives us incredible, local, musical talent all day. No two bands are the same and we like it like that.

Among the Compromised

Among the Compromised represents the generations. All four members bring very distinct and different backgrounds to the table providing for a stylistically eclectic work of music; a perfect sauce of slappin drum beats, tricked out guitar and bass riffs, and soul stealing vocals serving up all genres with every taste.

Among the Compromised is a local band that celebrates all genres of music and art.  With a simple music video, a few friends, and lots of love and fun, Ele-Fest was born. As the founders of Ele-Fest, ATC is determined to provide a space for all local artists and performers to celebrate, with friends and family, what they love to do most; elevate each other through creation and imagination. 

Thank YOU for being a part of the experience.

Straight up chumps

Straight Up Chumps is a jam-inspired quartet that hails from the south side of Indianapolis. Their music merges psychedelic jams with funky grooves which create a lasting experience for their audience. Their fan-base is loyal and ever growing as the Chumps travel across the state of Indiana, bringing their grooves and vibes to their audiences. The Chumps have created a niche sound unique to tight grooves and funky rhythms, accompanied by weirdly odd keyboard and synth sounds. Any listener is guaranteed to find themselves on an auditory excursion. 

INdyca

Indyca is a fusion of Reggae, Rock and Hip Hop but it doesn’t stop there! Each member comes from a unique musical background ranging from Early 1900’s Swing to Metal. Formed in 2013, Indyca has been tearing up the Indianapolis Music Scene since they started. You can usually find them close to a large body of water. Alicia is the word-smith while Brandon brings the Cali-Reggae feels. Tyler makes things trippy with his psychedelic riffs and Blake and Bryan are the backbone of the grooves.

Robots and magic powers

Robots And Magic Powers is a femme-laden four piece that has captured the attention of the Indianapolis music scene with their unique blend of alternative hard rock laced with synth, electronic effects and occasionally cello. Their sound has a diverse range with a feel that is sometimes tribal yet modern. They are known for their high energy stage shows and sci-fi influenced visuals. When R.A.M.P. isn't playing, they are out supporting their music and art scene as well as creating their own visual art, zines and videos. Art for them is a way of connecting with fellow humans and creating shared experiences, even if sometimes it is only to escape for a while to another world. 

Emma Peridot

With both a fiery passion and a cool composure, Emma Peridot is driven to create music that will capture the hearts of masses, all the while remaining unapologetic about who she is. Her sound is Pop with elements of EDM and R&B, and her lyrical content can be both mature and poetic or straightforward and playful. As a young, queer pop artist, Peridot is an embodiment of self-assurance. Her purpose in making music is to create a ripple effect of that self-assurance, and to bring diverse groups together over a common love of music.

Campfire Sessions

The fun continues after the sun sets! Follow us from the main stage to the campfire to hear some fantastic acoustic performances well into the night.

Tory fischetti

Campfire Sessions Host

Tory grew up playing in local NYC punk bands in venues such as CBGB'S and Coney Island High with his bands RGMD, Blackballed & FSO. In his current hometown of Indianapolis, he can be found performing nightly. He is often described as an aggressive acoustic and folk punk musician, pairing well with a variety of musical types. Tory's driven songs and on stage enthusiasm invite crowd participation and captures the interest of multiple genres. Tory is currently performing dates and touring under his recent album release, Old 78.

yadin kol

Yadin Kol is a captivating self-taught musician, singer, and songwriter who began his music career in 2016. As a passionate and soulful performer Yadin takes listeners on a musical journey where love and faith balance the ills and injustices of society. Yadin’s records provide a combination of his sensational guitar playing and his raw mellow vocals. His sound has a rhythmic undercurrent that bears testament to his retro-leaning, neo-soul style. His conscious-stirring lyrics come from his southern roots and urban life experiences. The soul searing stanzas and provocative rhythms from his first single 'True Love,' for instance, challenge the one-dimensional definition of beauty, and commands the listener to break free from the shackles of social stigma and repression. Love, truth, hope, and faith are recurring themes in his music. His influences include blues, soul, RnB, hip-hop, jazz, reggae, pop, and gospel.

Yadin believes that art and music are about connection. Through speaking, singing and playing to the authenticity of the human experience, music allows us to realize that we are connected to everything in and around us. Music brings us closer, gives us a sense of belonging, and makes us realize that we are not so separate after all. Yadin’s dream is that his music will unite, heal, and uplift people in light, love, and happiness. His EP, set to be released in 2020, promises to be a fresh and powerful contribution to the world of music.

GYPSY MOONSHINE

Gypsy Moonshine is ambient, eclectic, indie folk with an edge. Front woman and songwriter Katie Josway attempts to create an atmosphere with their songs. “Ideally a good song creates imagery and evokes emotion.”
